I was reding somewhere that if you have a spoiler then the light on the rear parcel shelf must not be connected. Apparantly it's against the law or something??
Hence only the spoiler has the bulb in it. My S pack had the wiring but no bulb in it opn the parcel shelf. Weird huh??

This is a good point, since Holden/HSV have a different parcel shelf and rear window for the cars with rear spoilers standard. It deletes the window fitted light, and reroutes the demister elements to suit.

The answer is simply that the light in the XRs etc should not be connected. I covered mine with a 'Ford Racing' sticker :s3

Yes it is according to the ADRs I think. I was told to remove the bulb and wireing when I fitted rear spoilers to cars with the high level on the bottom of the rear window. We never bothered on the cars with the higher mounted brake lights. I have about a dozen CHMSL bulb/harness sitting in my goodies box.

Same here on my Ghia, only the spoiler one works, not the rear window one.
So I dunno what the deal is.
I thought all Fords were like that from factory..and that it was nearly a sure bet that if both were working that the spoiler was put on at a later stage?
